A 29-year-old Midland man was arrested early Sunday morning in connection with a shots-fired incident that occurred at Hunters Ridge apartments on Andrews Highway, according to the Midland Police Department spokeswoman.

Lemario Darnell Harris was being held Monday on a $75,000 bond for a second-degree felony of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Midland police responded to a shots-fired report at about 5 a.m. Sunday. Because of nature of the call, MPD’s SWAT unit was also dispatched to the scene.

A woman told officers that she had been involved in a fight inside the apartment. She was chased out and as she was leaving, Harris began shooting at her, according to his arrest affidavit.

Harris had left the scene by the time officers arrived. Officers found spent casings on the ground outside the apartment, according to the affidavit.

Harris was located around 8:45 a.m. and gave officers consent to search his apartment. Officers found a spent casing in the living room and two loaded magazines in a bedroom, according to the affidavit.

If convicted of the second-degree felony charge, Harris could face up to 20 years imprisonment.
